Anyone looking forward to the impending release of “Eric Clapton & Friends: The Breeze, An Appreciation of JJ Cale” will now be able to preview the upcoming tribute via a mini-documentary.

The short clip features project kingpin Eric Clapton discussing the album, which will include 16 Cale numbers covered by guitar titans such as Clapton, Mark Knopfler, John Mayer, Willie Nelson, Tom Petty, Derek Trucks and Don White.

“I would like people to tap into what JJ Cale did – that’s the point,” said Clapton (via Hennemusic) “I’m just the messenger; I’ve always felt that that’s my job. I try to interpret things so that the public at large, or at least the people who listen to what I do, will become intrigued about where I got it from.”

“Eric Clapton & Friends: The Breeze, An Appreciation of JJ Cale” will be released July 29th.
